Equipments are delivered with glassware and basic accessories to run ASTM D 86. ndi basic manual version (p/n ) Distillation of petroleum products at reduced pressure as per ASTM D ISO 6616 Volatility is a measure of the tendency of a substance to vaporize. It has also been defined as a measure of how readily a substance vaporizes. Most often the term is used to describe a liquid s tendency to evaporate. The higher the vapor pressure of a liquid at a given temperature is, the higher the volatility and the lower the normal boiling point of the liquid is. Distillation is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture. Distillation is a unit operation, or a physical separation process, and not a chemical reaction. Test of volatility are really important to specify and qualify your products. For this reason we developed necessary equipments to perform these analyses. 3 v dist classic half-automated instrument (p/n ) Ready-to-use.

Freezing point as per ASTM D ISO IP 16 - DIN NFM manual or automatic instruments on request Cold flow properties could be defined by several tests under prescribed cooling condition. You could look for Cold filter plugging point (CFPP), Cloud Point (CP), Pour Point (PP), or Freezing Point (FP). CFPP is highest temperature, at which a given volume of fuel fails to pass through a standardized filtration device in a specified time. CP is the temperature at which dissolved solids are no longer completely soluble, precipitating as a second phase giving the fluid a cloudy appearance. PP is the lowest temperature at which it will pour or flow. It is a rough indication of the lowest temperature at which oil is readily pumpable. FP is considered as the temperature of the reverse change from liquid to solid. Normalab offers a full range of analyzers to define and qualify the cold behaviors of your products. p 7

A lubricant is a substance introduced between two moving surfaces to reduce the friction between them, improving efficiency and reducing wear. One of applications for lubricants, in the form of motor oil, is to protect the internal combustion engines in motor vehicles and powered equipment. Typically lubricants contain 90 % base oil and less than 10 % additives. Additives deliver reduced friction and wear, increased viscosity, improved viscosity index, resistance to corrosion and oxidation, aging or contamination, etc. Lubricants are also added to some fuels. Sulfur impurities in fuels also provide some lubrication properties, which have to be taken in account when switching to a low-sulfur diesel; biodiesel is a popular diesel fuel additive providing additional lubricity. p 11

Determination of particle polarity of bitumen emulsions as per ISO EN ASTM in progress 9 neb 110 (p/n ) The NEB 110 allows the determination of the sign of the electric charge carried by particles in ionic emulsions. A direct or rectified current is passed through a bitumen emulsion between 2 parallel electrodes. Bitumen is a mixture of organic liquids that are highly viscous, black, sticky, entirely soluble in carbon disulfide, and composed primarily of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Bitumen used in the Industry for construction, road and paving, roofing and waterproofing. Bitumen is basically a sticky, tar-like form of petroleum which is so thick and heavy that it must be heated or diluted before it will flow. Its composition is usually modified in a different way for every application. It is thus critical to characterize it in terms of viscosity, hardness, and evaluate its properties through ageing. Waxes may be natural secretions of plants or animals, artificially produced by purification from natural petroleum or completely synthetic. Some artificial materials such as silicone wax that exhibit similar properties are also described as wax or waxy. p 13

The bath volume is 40 liters and has a opening of 260 x 240 mm. There are 7 openings for holding viscometers. A cooling coil to work below ambient temperature is integrated. A bath drain is included. The viscosity of a lubricating oil can be considered as its most important physical property. It must be monitored and controlled carefully because of its impact on the oil and the oil s impact on equipment life and reliability. Basically, the viscosity can be defined as the property of a liquid characterizing its internal friction or resistivity to flow. Physics defines several types of viscosity and separate two families between Newtonian and non Newtonian fluids. There are mainly two related measures of fluid viscosity: dynamic (or absolute) viscosity kinematic viscosity. The knowledge of viscosity is needed to adjust and define the required temperatures for storage, pumping or injection of fluids and is also critical to check if an oil can provide adequate lubrication. p 14
